We won’t bore you all with the everything we did while we were in
New York – over the course of 11 days we ticked a lot of things off – but here
are a few select highlights…
> Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge felt like walking to the
beat of New York’s pulse. The view was spectacular, and the energetic mix of
locals, tourists and angry cyclists doing their best to avoid running into
people was electrifying
> Where most art galleries exist to facilitate the display of
artwork, The Guggenheim was something quite different. The smooth lines and
circular sloping galleries blurred the lines between the art and the space.
> What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than seeing
the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Musical Hall? It was amazing to join in
the tradition of seeing the Rockettes, who how have been New York icons since
the 1930s
> They say that Melbourne is the sporting capital of the world,
but New York must be a close second. Given that we were staying in Brooklyn, it
was an amazing experience to travel to our ‘local’ stadium to support the
Brooklyn Nets against the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA
> Seeing the classic Manhattan skyline in all its glory was spine
tingling.
> To avoid the epically long queues we got up at the crack of
dawn and caught the first ferry of the day across to Liberty Island to get up
close and personal with the Statue of Liberty. Being able to see her in
beautiful and vibrant morning light was a real treat.
